Grocery Shopping!

I have received several tips for saving money on groceries by planning your meals in advance. I'm going to make a menu for this next week (I'll be out of town this weekend) and I'll get the groceries on Monday morning for the week. That way my veggies and fruits will stay fresh and I won't feel like I have to make everything last through the week.

I used to make the whole coupon thingy really difficult because I would plan my menu and then my grocery list and then search for coupons. Then I had a 'DUH' moment! Coupons first! THEN make my grocery list, then make my menu for the week. That way I am saving money by only buying things on sale and mixing it with what I already have.

After I get my menu done on Sunday with my coupons, I'll post it on here so you can get an idea of what I'm doing.
